Sang

Famous quotes containing the word sang:

    Your beauty can but leave among us
    Vague memories, nothing but memories.
    A young man when the old men are done talking
    Will say to an old man, “Tell me of that lady
    The poet stubborn with his passion sang us
    When age might well have chilled his blood.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I sang as one
    Who on a tilting deck sings
    To keep men’s courage up, though the wake hangs
    That shall cut off their sun.
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    Won’t you play a simple melody
    Like my mother sang to me—
    One with good old fashioned harmony.
    Play a simple melody.
    Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
